Chaos Theory

The question we have ALL been wondering about.

How does Chris Brown get away with it?

“We’ve killed sex toys, too.”

"As soon as it went up, Hyatt saw the splintered fragments of “two bottles of what looked to be very good wine.”

The wife forgot she and her husband recently joined a wine-of-the-month club.

No one risked moving the package before calling the unit, or else they might have spotted the label on the bottom.

“And so that happens,” Hyatt told SN&R. “You blow someone’s stuff up, and they go, ’Aah.’"

And that's horrifying

As far as I can tell, my boss stole my company iPad--I tracked it--but she denies it.

Oh SHIT.

I...guess it's a good thing I got laid off of that job years ago

What's the nation's worst job? I wouldn't have guessed this one. Or for that matter, any job that doesn't involve bodily functions and fluids.

Things that depress a college graduate

When you find out that you are no longer smart enough to get into your own alma mater.

Oh man, I hadn't heard of this.

You can't take the hat from me...oh, wait, you CAN. DAMMIT.

"Her role in society or level of accomplishment doesn't matter. Even if she's a damned candidate for the Supreme Court, the female always has a dual role: to function as a person, and to act as decor. And we get pissed if she doesn't do her job."

5 Ways Modern Men Are Trained To Hate Women.

"This is why no amount of male domination will ever be enough, why no level of control or privilege or female submission will ever satisfy us. We can put you under a burqa, we can force you out of the workplace -- it won't matter. You're still all we think about, and that gives you power over us. And we resent you for it."

Dimwit

This student wanted to protest yet another stupid test issue in high school. So he wrote "YOLO" on it and tweeted it to big shots. Naturally, he got suspended.

Hey, I agree with him that it's dumb, but this isn't how to do an effective protest either.

Cameras make you look and feel like crap

"It’s a funny thing, this life on camera. When I’m out interacting with people and getting on with life, I generally feel confident and attractive, like the world is smiling upon me. It’s only when somebody whips a camera out that I become suddenly conscious that my body could be more willowy, my face more beautiful, my outfits more exactingly put together."

"How pathetically arrogant and ignorant of me, I think, for allowing myself the momentary delusion of beauty!How ridiculously oblivious I was, for blithely thinking that I might look sexy or pretty or even reasonably nice. Well, here is the crushing evidence to the contrary. I am no such thing! I am monstrous. I am ill-made. I should hide in the dark somewhere. At the very least, I shouldn’t bother to wear cute things ever—they just look absurd on me."

I hear that. I can look darn good in person, but in every picture I have a giant fat head and my hair is inevitably doing something funny.

Excited?

This makes me sad.

From the about page:

"Cataloging the thrilling opportunities start-ups are offered when their incredible journey continues by being bought by an exciting company. However, as a user of the start-up’s service, your own incredible journey must end, because all of your photos and writing and checkins and messages and relationships must now be deleted.

In part this site is simply a snarky and angry response to companies and people who profit from an acquisition while showing little regard for the efforts of the thousands of people who spent time on their service.

But this site also asks broader questions: Is this the best way to structure and grow businesses? Is this the best long-term model for keeping people interested in making and doing amazing things on the internet? Why does almost no website or online service (my own included) have a plan for what happens to their users’ content over the long term?"
